MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
THROUGH: Dave Swarner, Finance Director
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: April 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-23 - Redirecting Water & Sewer Capital Project
Funds to Complete Citywide Lift Station Improvements.
Previous appropriations totaling $920,000 were made for improvements to the Mile Post 13, Mile
Post 14, Lawton Drive and Broad Street lift stations. Of these appropriations, $861,400.15 remain
available. The Public Works Department has determined that the priority need for all lift stations
is new communication and operations panels to provide reliability, connectivity and visibility to all
the lift station for improved operation and maintenance. We recommend combining these capital
funds into one Citywide Lift Station Improvements project to be able to complete a project
replacing all of the lift station operations panels throughout the City. Once these improvements
are completed, the remaining funds will be used to repair access hatches, guide rails and other
failing equipment.
The Public Works Department recommends redirecting $861,400.15 from the Mile Post 13, Mile
Post 14, Lawton Drive and Broad Street lift station projects to the Citywide Lift Station
Improvements project.
Your support is respectfully requested.
